I am so sick of the media slobbering over Stafford.

Stafford played in Detroit. Detroit.

Okay...and?

Darnold played with the Jets. The Jets.

Detroit at its worst is still several levels above the Jets franchise at its worst (and it still is at its worst even today).

The Lions are no longer as bad as they were back in the day but the Jets still are.

Anyway, we're veering off here...the point isn't that Stafford didn't have his troubles over there due to bad management or improper team construction.

My point of contention was the suggestion that he "went through hell" to get to where he is today which isn't quite true.

Detroit, Detroit, Detroit. This franchise’s ineptitude is the reason I never became a bandwagon fan during our 2-14 season even with Sanders in his heyday. I’ve been a Seattle Seahawks diehard since I was 10 and haven’t wavered. I will NEVER bandwagon.

And here’s what I can’t stand about Lions fans. They bandwagon BIG TIME.
It gets on my nerves big time. Remember XL and the Bettis bullshit? Those terrible towel wavers were majority Lions fans

When Stafford went to The Lambs before Campbell came around, guess how many bandwagon Lambs fans were created? THE MAJORITY of supposed die hard Lions fans. It made me want to puke.
In all my years living in Michigan, I have met very few true diehards.

Diehards ALWAYS root for their team, no matter what.

I totally get hoping a former player does well on another team EXCEPT when they play your team and ESPECIALLY if they end up in you team’s division.
When Russell left, he was no longer on MY TEAM. So, I didn’t root for his new teams because they are not MY TEAM. I didn’t care for Gino much but I still rooted for him because he was the QB of MY TEAM.

Do I root for Russell’s teams? NO! Do I root for Bobby’s teams? HELL NO! Did I root for Sherman’s team? HELL NO!
These Lions fans are beyond sufferable because they are such stupid bandwagon bitches.
It sucks living in Michigan with all these new Rams fans.

Rant over

I get what you mean. I went there for a vacation and they are radical fans of the Lions. I was in the area of Grayling and they are great people but a bit out of the norm for wisdom about football. I am kind of realistic. Thanks for your post. You keep doing you.

I'll enjoy the game but I won't let it go. EVER.

Especially when someone is claiming that Stafford had it rough.

Give me a friggin' break, man.

No, I won't because I think you have blinders on and really don't look at things objectively.

That's ok, I have seen these types before, not worth the time to interact really if they are one dimensional thinkers.

Enjoy the game.

Done with this.

Go Hawks???

I also agree with Chris :

I'm done with this as well.

He made his point and I made mine.


Now back to kicking the shit out of the Rams....
